Introduction

Power Generation: Steam Turbines, Gas Turbines & Combined Cycle Power Plants 

 

This comprehensive course covers the design, operation, and maintenance of gas turbines, steam turbines, and combined cycle power plants (CCPP) to enhance efficiency and reliability. Key topics include Brayton/Rankine cycles, heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), turbine controls, maintenance strategies, and troubleshooting.
